Concord police shoot, kill 21-year-old man in Antioch

The father of a young man who died in an officer-involved shooting late Friday night says he's going to take action against the Concord Police Department.

The scene at Buchanan Road and Barcelona Circle was cleared early Saturday evening, nearly 19 hours after the shooting took place. Residents in the Antioch neighborhood are still reeling from shooting death of their neighbor, 21-year-old Charles Burns, by Concord police.

We still have not received information from Concord police as to why Charles was wanted and whether he was armed. What we do know is the man's father is furious and wants answers.

John Burns' emotions have been alternating between grief and anger since learning that his son was shot to death by Concord police.

"And I want explanations why my dear 21-year-old son got killed for one day before his birthday," John said.

Charles was supposed to turn 22 on Mother's Day. But now his parents are mourning his loss. Friends and family have been coming to the Burns' Bay Point home on Virginia Drive to share their grief since Friday night's shooting.

According to some witnesses and the family, Charles was shot multiple times by at least three Concord police officers. He died in the middle of Buchanan Road and Barcelona Circle in Antioch.

According to one police source, Concord officers were attempting to serve a warrant on Charles and had been following him to his home on Barcelona Circle. Amanda, a neighbor, did not want to be seen on camera.

"They blocked him in on the other side," Amanda said. "One guy got arrested. He tried to run out of the car and they shot him."
